Sam AccardiBorn and raised in Toronto, Ontario, Canada, I grew up on books like Paolini's Inheritance Cycle, Tolkein's Lord of the Rings, Stroud's Bartimaeus Sequence, Lasky's Guardians of Ga'Hoole and many, many more.That is to say that all of these works haveinspired and stuck with me throughout the years, and have allowed me to understand the kinds of stories I want to tell, and want to see told in literature.When I first started working on the Chronicles of Enayra series on March 3rd, 2011, late into my 10th grade year, I never thought it would set me on the path to self-publishing as an Indie author. The first novel, then called "A New Legend" and the series called "Dragon Warriors", was originally published on WattPad. It was a book I constantly rewrote and reworked over the years, until finally, almost a full decade later, I self-published through Amazon KDP, in January of 2021.Now, as an Indie author in my spare time, I publish in Young Adult series, focusing specifically on the genres of High Fantasy, Historical Fantasy, Historical Fiction, and Science Fiction/Fantasy. I seek to tell stories rooted in human history, human experience, and the human condition. The greatest thing I can accomplish is to teach a reader something-anything-and to touch their soul with my work.I currently have a twos books in a single series published, Dragonkin (The Chronicles of Enya #1), and it's sequel Phantoms (AVAILABLE NOW!), and I've already begun to write the third book, as well as a new book from a new, previously unannounced series.When I am not writing, I am often found at home with my wonderful, supportive, wife, my two dogs Bella (Cane Corso), Uno (Walker Hound), and cat, Mona. I spend my free time hiking, playing videos games, enjoying cigars, cooking delicious meals, reading, or watching the anime of combat sports (pro-wrestling).The highest compliment anyone can give is an honest review of my work!
